Ondrej Holzman For the large iPad Pro, Apple also offers special Smart Keyboard, which also acts as a Smart Cover. Although the Smart Keyboard may look a bit cheap at first glance, the engineers have hidden quite interesting technologies in it.
In his traditional analysis on a few points of interest pointed out server iFixit, who discovered multiple layers of fabric and plastic that make the Smart Keyboard water and dirt resistant. Apple used microfibers, plastic and nylon for these purposes.
For the keyboard buttons, Apple used a similar mechanism to the u 12-inch MacBook, so the buttons have a much smaller stroke than we have been used to with Apple computers. Since the keyboard is completely covered with fabric, there are also small vents through which the air generated during typing escapes.
The fact that Apple covered the entire Smart Keyboard with fabric also means that the product is completely unrepairable. You can't get inside the keyboard without damaging it. On the other hand, due to the materials used, mechanical damage should not occur, for example.
However, the most interesting part of the new keyboard are the conductive fabric strips that connect the keys to the Smart Connector outside the case and provide a two-way channel for power and data. Conductive fabric tapes should be according to iFixit more durable than conventional wires and cables.
When will it finally go on sale?
Air generated while writing? :-) It's like the keyboard is making air.
The lift of the keys when pressed, something like a piston.
